rotater cuff

has any one had problems with it? if anyone can give me advise it would be very mutch appreiciated!!!! peace! may it be within you always!

 

I've heard good things about surgery.
Otherwise get a sugar _________ *g*

Tried ultrasound?

 

hehehe well that helped!!!! but thanx any way!

 

ohh by the way im trying to AVOID the knife! lol

 

You can't. If you've torn your rotator cuff, it needs to be put together again surgically.

You CANNOT avoid surgery, there's no other rehab.

Believe me, legions of powerlifters and olympic weightlifters wish that wasn't true.

 

well thanks goth but as you prob. know ill put it off for as long as i can but thanx i think LOL!!

 

ok all jokes aside how do i determin if that is my problem?

 

Can you raise your arm higher than your shoulder?

That'll give you a good sign.

Best way - GO SEE A DOCTOR. If you haven't torn it, you need to find out FAST how damaged you are. It gets REALLY EXPENSIVE if you don't.

If you've torn or eventually tear your rotator cuff you won't be able to lift your arm, no matter how your muscles are.

 

ya thats what im worrieid about is doing more damage i can raise it but i cant throw a ball !! that is not a good thing to do i can function below my shoulders but above i have to be extremly careful and do it slowly

 

IF you can raise your arm above your shoulder, chances are your cuff isn't torn.

I am NOT a doctor, do NOT play one on TV. I do know a blown cuff will prevent you from actually moving your arm.

You MAY be OK if you see a doctor now. I mean it.

 

so i geuss its what i think huh? if you know what are my options?

 

ahh hell i was hoping you were a real makebelieve type doc!!~ hehew but i do appreiciate your advise thanks!!

 

Your options are to see a doctor. I'm a former powerlifter and many of my friends have had or known someone who's had that injury.

Don't mess with it. Don't deal with internet advice either. Go see a doctor, like an ACL tear this ISN'T something you can ignore and it will go away.

 

so how do they detirmin if it is or isnt! does it take a look see?

 

It does. They'll probably move your arm around, see how you feel, probably use ultrasound or other imaging to check.

 

and then what? its been more months than i care to talk about so i have to do something !! work= money type thing!!

 

well shit i know how it feels lol like a pain in my arm! lol but you figure i got to go and do it huh? your alright by the way!

 

Uh, thanks

No, seriously, if you've got that kind of problem, I can virtually guarantee that your rotator cuff will NOT improve by itself. I do NOT want to mess you up by recommending exercises to strengthen the cuff if the cuff is compromised or torn.

The last thing ya wanna do is listen to some guy on the Internet and end up having to go under the knife. You might anyhow....

 

heehee just trying to get some perspective i wont jump off the bridge!! but ya i was kinda hoping that someone would tell me that it will all be alright but im not quite esily convinced i know what my prob. is just looking for a little of what i gotta do no cash no ins. so i gotta figure hard i had a joke for you but now i forgot it !! thanks bro!!

 

Sorry the news sucks, what I can tell you is this - if it's your cuff it will NOT improve on its own.

Gotta run. Good night and good luck.
